Power Searches

If the Quick Search, Filter By and Cross-reference tools aren’t enough to produce the desired records, the Power Search is a very powerful searching tool that gives you access to every table and field in the entire database. It also allows you to build (and save!) multi-line searches that can be used over and over again and even shared with other system users.

Each of these search tools can be used independently to produce a list of records to work with. Also, you can combine these tools in a single search for a very focused result.

In this article we'll look at creating and saving a Power Search that will display a list of Sales Orders that we Invoiced to our Widget Buyer Client for the last quarter of Fiscal Year 2012.
